PRESS RELEASE

February 4^th, 2010

St. Louis, MO The St. Louis Police Association endorsed Rep. Allen Icet’s campaign for Missouri State Auditor Tuesday.

President Thomas Walsh said the group endorsed Icet for his commitment to public safety and to protecting Missouri taxpayers. “Our organization voted at their last meeting to endorse you because we appreciate the support you have given us over the years. Your support has ensured the rights of our police officers,” said Walsh.  “The St. Louis Police Officers’ Association specifically and Law Enforcement in general thank you for the commitment you have bestowed upon the police community in the state legislature.”

Icet thanked the members of the Police Officers’ Association for their work. “I’m thrilled to receive this endorsement from yet another group of civic-minded Missourians,” said Icet. “Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our streets safe.”

“As state auditor,” Icet continued, “I won’t face the same danger that these officers brave every day. But I will serve with the same sense of public purpose to protect Missouri taxpayers from waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Icet is the only candidate in the race for Auditor with actual experience protecting Missouri taxpayers. He has served on the Missouri House Budget Committee for seven years, including five as budget chairman. Thanks to Icet, Missouri’s budget is in much better shape than the budgets of other states at the present time. Without Allen’s leadership on the House Budget Committee, Missouri taxpayers would likely be facing an insurmountable budget deficit.
